DO A GOOD SWING ARE YOU ?

Can you believe it, that good swing is not easy to conduct for many person. Even you have experience to swing, it is still not easy. If you do wrong at the first time to swing, it will be "recorded" in your body and you will (always) wrong. How poor I am

Every golfers knew that the keys to make a good swing is depend on two aspect. First is Your Stance and second is golf club grips. So if you wanna be a good swinger you have to consider about that two aspect.

Stance ?
Stance is athletic emotion while we swing a golf club.
There are many suggest from the expert. One of them is Nan Ryan, from LPGA Teaching Professional. He said that Stand tall with your heels about shoulder width apart. Bend slightly from the top of your hips, keeping your back straight and letting your rear stick out. Let your arms hang down, gorilla style. Don't let your chin tuck into your chest. Look at the ball with the bottom of your eyes as much as possible. Let your right side (for right-handed golfers) tilt slightly lower than the left. Keep your weight equal and slightly toward the forward part of both feet.
Now relax the knees slightly. This is key. Make sure that when you relax the knees you keep your rear sticking out. Avoid that sitting down position that makes it hard to shift your weight properly. A proper stance and posture means the right position for the most effective golf swing. Practice the proper stance in front of a mirror and memorize its feel.






















From http://www.1st-beginners-golf-swing-tips.com, said that good stance should be do by everyone if they consider about balanced and relaxed.
Keep back straight but don’t tense up.
Body weight should be on the balls of your feet, not on the toes or heels,
Right shoulder will be slightly lower to the ground than the left, but a line through your shoulders should still be parallel to the target line
be balanced and be comfortable.


Golf club grips.
Make sure that grip still in good performance; not hard or slick or slippery. Do not let this condition without any improvement. Or you can control your power swing and do bad swing. Immediately re-gripping; done by service agent or by yourself ( You can ! ).
The next step is you should grip the golf club properly.

From http://www.1st-beginners-golf-swing-tips.com, said that Grip the club with your left hand. The club will be mainly in the palm across the pads at the base of the fingers. however, the club will lie across the first section of the index finger. The thumb will be positioned straight on top of the golf club shaft. Relative to the golf club, the thumb will be in a the twelve o’clock position.
And then right hand, grip the golf club just above your left hand with the fingers, not the palm, of your right hand. The thumb will be positioned slightly off to the left. Relative to the golf club, the thumb will be in a eleven o’clock position.

Of course you can see many web in internet, but you should practice refer to relax and balanced above.

Good Luck
